- The Rodecaster Pro is a game changing tool for audio production and it’s super simple to incorporate it into live streams and/or video podcasts via OBS. Here’s a quick rundown of the process:
•My Rodecaster Pro Review/Overview Video:

Rode has a lot of products with similar names: the Rode Procaster, Rodecaster Pro, The Broadcaster, and the Podcaster. Most of these products are microphones, but for the sake of clarity, the RODECaster Pro is an all-in-one audio production tool that I’ve totally fallen in love with.
I was toying around with the idea of improving audio quality for live The Rodecaster is a pretty simple plug and play device. I’m using a Mac, but I believe this should work the same way on Windows. As soon as you connect the USB cable from the Rodecaster’s USB C port to your computer and open OBS, you should see the Rodecaster as an available audio source.
This now gives you the option to use 4 XLR inputs for a live stream, along with auxiliary and Bluetooth sources. Since the Rodecaster makes it easy to incorporate phone calls as an audio source, this also means that it opens up the option to bring live calls into your livestreams.
The Rodecaster Pro is seriously awesome. Of course, you don’t need expensive gear to create great stuff, but well thought out tools like this can improve your workflow and make it easier and ore fun to create cool things!

Can you review this vs the GOXLR?
Ridiculous question: When you were talking on the landline to the Rodecaster pro, where was the sound coming out of? The Rodecaster?
Yes, it was the output from the Rodecaster 👍
I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of your channel and I’m watching a ton. Just had to say that not only is this another super helpful video, but the Bob’s Burgers ringtone made my day. 👏🏻
Thanks Matt! I’ve had that ringtone for so long I’ve forgotten it’s even an option to change it 😬
Thanks Tom.It is people like you that help beginners like me and it means a lot.
Thank you! That totally blows my mind and really means the world to hear.
I have watched a lot of videos regarding the Rodecaster which I purchased recently, I do it as a hobby, not as a business and may I say Tom your videos are some of the best I have viewed and I will be describing to your channel as I work through the caster.
Thank you! It makes me really happy to hear that, and I'm glad you're enjoying your Rodecaster. There's a GREAT community of creators around it.
Your videos are great, simple to understand and solves a need. Subscribed!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you found me!
Absolutely love your videos, liked and subscribed dude.
You are too good at explaining, I really enjoy watching your video and learn every time.
Thank you so much.
Thanks so much! That makes me genuinely happy to hear.
Man, your lighting and color in this video is unreal! Well done!
Thank you! The color is pretty much just Canon straight out of the camera. 👍
Just earned a subscriber! I’ve been on TH-cam for months searching for the info you just displayed! RCP with the OBS integration looks flawless. Hopefully my Nikon z6 would be lovely in this marriage of video podcast for me
Thanks so much! It works quite well. I’m still experimenting, but have gotten great results this far.
You're the high school teacher I wish I had. But now I've found you I can't wait to learn from you. Why? Because I seem to have a lot in common with you, especially having "too many hobbies" including music & video production. So I can't wait to become more like you thanks to your content.
All the best mate, from your newest and proudest sub,
Connor.
Thanks Connor! I’m glad you can relate to having too many interests- it can be tough to manage them all. I hope I can make some videos that help out!
Thank you so much for the info! Love your videos! Very helpful and informative.
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
Great video and a big help for setting up this exact same pairing! You have earned yourself a like and a sub sir! Well done.
I’m glad to hear it was helpful! 😎
This was super helpful for something so simple to discover had I just looked at the manual but, why do that when you've got all the answers here! Much appreciated!
So glad to hear it! 🙌
I watched one of your videos the other day and I could’ve swore you had 100k subs. Great content man
Maybe one day 😬
Cool video mate, liked the transitions. Cheers 👍🏻🎙🎧🎥
Subbed due to your fantastic review!!
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
The funny thing about TH-cam is that, if you think of something, like you figure out that you have a problem - and then you imagine that you might be able to come up with a solution. And you ask yourself, "I wonder if someone on TH-cam has already done it and can tell me exactly what to do to fix my problem - that is right in line with what I thought I could do?" ... and then you go search those keywords on TH-cam or Google..... And then viola! There's someone that has done exactly what you imagined and has produced a video telling you exactly how to do what you imagined, so you don't have to go through the trial and error to learn how to get it done yourself! THANK YOU!!!! Bravo Zulu!!!!
And yes, I love my Rodecaster PRO!!! Loved the video and subscribed.

So glad it helped! It seems like there’s a pretty nest community surrounding the Rodecaster.
DOPE... Just got mine yesterday.
Here we GO!
Nice! I hope you make a lot of awesome stuff with it! 😎
Amazing thank you my brother.
Great stuff Tom! Quick question, can the tap buttons be used in the same way as the Streamdeck box? For changing scenes etc...
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think so. Although that’s not to say some brilliant mind somewhere couldn’t find a way. That would be super cool...
If I’m using the USB port to hook to my computer for streaming on OBS or Vmix, Is it still possible to hook the rodecaster pro to my iPhone so I can simultaneously stream to Instagram live? Thanks!
I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Maybe there'd be a way to connect your phone to the computer as an input source?
4.6k subs only !
That's not fair
It's should be 4.6m subs
I love your content so much
Thanks so much!! I read this first thing in the morning, and it’s a great way to start the day. 👍
With time he'll be up there, don't give in 🙏 thanks for your tips! You made my decision a lot more clearer
Forgot how much I love this video
Feel free to remember any time! 👍
Definitely putting this on my shopping list!
Thanks man! You saved me a lot of headaches by showing the "add audio source" part...I completely missed that on my own!
Nice! I’m really glad it helped- simple but important. 💡
Beautifully framed and I love your background and desk setup Tom. The best part was when you switched audio to the Rodecaster and it went up in quality by 1000% (sorry the VideoMic Pro or whatever you had off frame, that audio was not very good, and as soon as I opened your video it clashed with your otherwise well thought out and beautiful aesthetic. Anyway: subscribed!
Thanks Carl, the Rodecaster really is an amazing device! And it sounds great!
I just got mine today after watching your video last week. And ZZounds hooked me up I ordered about $1000 worth of gear!
Nice!! I hope you have some serious fun with it!
this video makes a nightmare into a dream for beginners. Thanks for this!
Woo hoo! Hopefully it helped to shed some light on your questions.
Great video. And I love that Novation Mininova, man.
It’s such a great synth! Huge sounds 😱
I barely comment on video's, im a youtuber myself & i have my own business as well but let me just say you deserve way more subscribers! Your video's make me want to start my podcast right now!!! Great job , very informative. Definitely gained a subscriber 😊
Thanks Nesha! I’m glad you got a kick of motivation! 😎
Totally agree with Nesha! Clear, concise, & enthusiastic! Great job!
That demo of the phone bluetooth earned my like.
Haha, I’m glad to hear it 😁
Awesome video, definitely helps understand it better!
I’m glad it helped!
I seriously love your channel 😚
Haha! I read this comment right after the one on the other video, so the answer is yes, you can live stream with it. 😄
Yayy thank u LOL I've been bingewatching and learning all I can
Great stuff. Many thanks.
You are absolutely welcome.
Brilliant! THANK YOU
Thanks for the video!!
A quick question: How well does the ducking feature work in an OBS live streaming scenario? As an example, if you wanted to be able to be heard whilst talking over your desktop audio?
To be honest, I never using ducking features because I always find them distracting. This one works fine, but I feel like you can still hear a little gain noise going up and down as it ducks. 😕
Love it, and enjoying it.
Glad to hear it!
I am thinking about purchasing this device and all the reviews and tutorials look great. My only question is with the 2.0 firmware update. I am unclear whether there exists an option to mute the speaker outputs automatically when enabling one of the mic channels. Coming from traditional radio, this is a standard feature on broadcast mixers so as to prevent feedback. It is also great as an indicator that the microphones are muted and hosts can hear commercials or music without necessarily wearing headphones.
I think I get where you’re coming from. I used to work at a tv station, and this was similar to our audio setup there, but the Rodecaster doesn’t have an automatic mute option (or if it does, I haven’t found it).
We arent getting any sound when we set this up. Do we need to download some extensions or plugins for mac or obs?
Hmm. Personally I didn’t have to install anything extra, it just showed up right away. 🤷🏻♂️
Is the system audio already piped in through the usb?
Yes, the computer reads the Rodecaster as it’s own audio source.
HI, great video. I have a Q. During the Live stream, you can send music to the audience? And if I will teach how the music rhythm works, the music and your voice will be synchronized.
All of the Audi coming from the Rodecaster should be in sync with everything 👍
@@tombuckAwesome! Thx!
Thanks so much!! I was always wondering if I could use obs to record podcasts! Still debating if I should get the rodecaster 😢
If it’s within your budget, I 100% recommend it. Incredible tool, with loads of functionality.
Thanks for the video. Some questions about using live broadcasts:
- I am using the wireless microphone "Comica CVM-WM300 (A)"
- What is your opinion to use it with this console?
- Thinking of making video podcasts or interviews via Zoom and putting them on TH-cam live, any suggestions?
- Can you use a computer or other element to play music during the program?
- Any extra suggestions for live broadcasts?
Thank you.
I really recommend this video from Peter Gregg. It's a bit long, but he covers EVERYTHING you need to get a live stream up and running and looking pro:
th-cam.com/video/ORFAdVp0tXE/w-d-xo.html
But to answer your questions:
1. The Rodecaster takes XLR inputs, so if your wireless mic has an XLR receiver, it'll work.
2. The Peter Gregg video linked above will guide you through the setup for a video podcast. The tech part is the same, and then you can use streaming software to determine which platform you want to send it to.
3. You can connect a computer or phone to the TRRS port on the Rodecaster to play music.
4. My suggestion is to start simple and upgrade as your needs become apparent. Don't buy an entire studio at once and become overwhelmed. Get the basics, and your own unique workflow will help you figure out where to go from there.
Best of luck!
You are the best Bro!
Thank you!
dude i have all the gear. No idea where to start. Wish you did a step by step vid on how to do video podcasts with obs and rodecaster pro
One camera is relatively easy plug and play- maybe with a CamLink adapter. Multiple cameras becomes a whole different potato. 😬
Tom how can I get sound from OBS, like videos or audio files, that are held in OBS to listen in Rodecaster Pro when played to record them on the Rodecaster. I know them are in the OBS recording and you can see the audio meter in OBS moving wile played, but can't listen to them in my Headphones of the Rodecaster.
how's OBS for that I wanna do livestreams and video podcasts, but kinda stuck with camera changes. I just wanna have a hard camera for it. ugh im probably balling but I like this setup
OBS is pretty incredible overall. I use it everyday at work, and pretty often on my own.
Switching camera angles does require a mixer of some type, but if you’re just trying to get a signal from something like a DSLR into OBS, then you just need an hdmi converter (BlackMagic and Elgato both sell good ones).
Great stuff. Quick question, is there a way to use the multi channel on Røde caster into OBS?
As far as I can tell, there isn’t- the Rodecaster only shows up as a single audio source.
Thank you sir! Doing a sports podcast! This will do the trick! I appreciate this! Thanks!
Nice! I’m sure it’ll turn out awesome.
The Enthusiasm Project 🙏
Hi Tom do you have a video showing your whole set up to get the look you have?
Agreed! Love the quality of your video! Can you tell us more about your lighting and video equipment/details/tricks?
Hey man! I think I've asked this before, but I am now coming back to this. How do you connect this to two PC's? I have a GOXLR Mini, but want more inputs. Will this be a good replacement?
This will give you 4 XLR inputs, so definitely more. But to answer your first question, as far as I know there isn't a way to connect to more than one computer.
I am still hesitating between zoom h6 + shure sm58 vs rodecaster pro + rode podmic. Which one do you recommander at this time ?
well i got a quarter of my question answered in this video......so to record video with the audio, would you run the camera into the OBS program? if so what kind of camera is recommended?
You can either sync audio to your video in an editing program, or run the camera and Rodecaster into OBS to record “live”. Any camera will work, but you’ll likely need an hdmi capture card/device for the computer. The elgato camlink works great for that.
HI, have you ever problems with the monitor (or headphones) line outs in terms of noise? I read about this, ad we need to feed a external Amp for some usecases
There's a slight hiss for me, but nothing too distracting and I rarely go above 12:00 on the headphone volume.
Does the Rodecaster Pro also act as a DAC (maybe even with amp functionality) to put a headphone in it and hear the audio from the computer while the computer receives the input from the mics? So basicly that it would be possible to use voice software like TeamSpeak and Discord just with the Roadcaster Pro?
Yes! I do it all the time with Zoom and Facetime.
Love your videos bro. I had a quick question. When I try to live stream with my rodecaster I can’t hear desktop sounds. Is there a way to fix this ?
It depends on how you've got your setup going, but if the rodecaster os connected to your computer via USB, you should be able to bring up the USB channel volume and hear the computer. You may have to select the Rodecaster as an output source on your computer first though.
Just like you make your videos for TH-cam. I have a GoPro Hero 7. How do you hook up your Camera to the Rodecaster Pro to sync your Audio/Video
Super simple- I must sync the audio and video files in final cut. 👍
HEy Tom. Great video. I am using the rodecaster pro with OBS and Zoom. I am having a problem with hearing zoom audio from my zoom caller on my facebook broadcast. A video on the correct settings when using all of these together would be great. I looked into it and they say you need virtual audio cables. I got them but it's still very confusing.
You could try running your Zoom audio into the smartphone channel on the Rodecaster with a 3.5mm cable coming from your computer's headphone output. Then you can still select the rodecaster as the Zoom audio source, so everyone in the call can hear you, and you can turn off USB Mix Minus and select the Rodecaster as the audio source for Facebook. I'm not 100% sure this would work and it could cause an echo for the people on Zoom, but it's worth a shot.
As for virtual routing, I also have a video coming out about Loopback, which might be a good solution. If you have a Mac it would let you create a "virtual audio device" where you combine Zoom audio and Rodecaster audio and then select that device in Facebook.
Can you actually hookup another analog mixer on channels 3 and 4 and pan it hard left and right? Use case, I want to just feed this unit with a master L and R from an analog mixer that has the whole band house mix and feed it into the Rodeecaster. is this possible? :)
You can’t pan within the Rodecaster, but you could do it with an external mixer (which is what I think you’re asking) 👍
When I sync up the video from the rodecaster audio, overtime the audio will start to go out of sync? Is this due to variable framerate? Do you have a solutions? Thanks, nice vid.
I used to have the same problem with my Zoom recorder, and it was related to the frame rate of the camera. I would just split the clip and realign the audio when it got out of sync. It’s a hassle but it works 👍
Wow this is exactly what I was searching for! Particularly regarding the ability to incorporate the live phone calls. However, when on a live call through the rodecaster, can the caller here the different tracks/sound effects you might want to add in as well?
Yes, when they're connected, they'll hear the entire mix. Working on a video about that right now, actually 👍
The Enthusiasm Project 🤩 Thanks a bunch! Can’t wait to tune in!
Hey great video, this is exactly what I wanted to find out! Would you be able to also plug in your phone or an action cam in the laptop and use that as a video source for obs? So basically, rodecaster - audio, phone/action cam video, all connected to the laptop and through obs control all of them and live stream/record?
Yes, that’s totally possible! You can definitely connect other cameras to OBS. You may need an HDMI converter for some cameras, but any camera that connects via USB should show up as a source no problem.
The only thing I’ve struggled with is making sure that audio is synced across all cameras- sometimes I’ll get it looking great with one camera, but need to make adjustments when I switch the shot. That all depends on whatever gear you’re specifically using though. Once you get it working, you could get something like the elgato Streamdeck to switch between angles and stuff. 👍
@@tombuck thanks so much for your help!
Great advice @tom
Hi love your channel. is your Shure mic plugged directly to the Rodecaster Pro or are you plugged into a cloudfitter or something similar first?
Everything was directly into the Rodecaster 👍
Question: Is it possible to use the mulritracks in obs? I would like to input a voice chat on line-in and hear that in my headset, but I don't want what my chat mates are saying to be output to obs, only my responses to them in the mic.
You’ll have to play around with the settings and experiment, but OBS has a lot of options for adding and disabling Audio Sources 👍
I'd Love to see this in action! Maybe do a Live stream and take some calls! so cool man.
We’re planning to do that on Sharespark in the next few weeks!
I totally agree I would like to see it in action
Awesome video! Do you record your TH-cam videos straight to OBS or to the SD card? What are the pros and cons?
I go straight to the SD card to keep the R’s high bitrates and awesome quality. 👍
You're great at explaining stuff, so I have a request (if you take them). Please do a video on how to set up a system so that you can mix several camera angles and switch between them, and airing that as a live feed. Preferably using the Rodecaster, since I bought one and have been using it for my podcast (after watching your videos). It's great, so thank you!
Hey there! I'm thinking of doing a video about video podcasts, but in the meantime, I do have several videos about livestreaming events and setting up a broadcast studio at my work. Even though they're not podcast-specific, the principles are the same.
Tom Buck thank you!
thanks for the video: Quick Q: I notice you added the Roadcaster Pro into OBS, does this have to be done for every single Scene in OBS, or just that one time as you showed us on this video? Reason I'm asking: I currently have 2 scenes with different .mp3 audio sources in OBS, yet they are not playing when running Virtual Camera over to zoom. The only source that's working is my Shure Microphone. thank you
I mainly use Ecamm, but in either app, I've learned to religiously double check my audio sources to make sure the right sources are selected and active.
hi, could you help me with a problem? I use rodcaster with streamlabs (obs) and when I call someone live, perhaps via streamyard or skype, they only hear what I say from the microphone, the effects I launch from the rodcaster, everything else (mp4 video, streamdeck, background music) no, not they feel it, while I do! How do I make them feel these things too?
I'm between beginner and intermediate knowledge of audio. There an audio mixer in OBS, there's an audio mixer in ATEM Mini Control Software, Rodecaster Pro is a mixer. I already own 2 capture cards. If I'm making a video podcast (1 camera + screen share for guests), what are step-up benefits for each way of solving the audio requirements? Confused. I put a premium on clean audio and ease of self-production.
They could each probably handle it on their own. OBS can do everything, but is an absolute pain to set up and use. ATEM has a pretty decent software mixer for audio, but your inputs are limited. The Rodecaster is a dedicated audio mixer/recorder/interface with the benefit of physical buttons/sliders.
Hi there Tom. Love your vids. Very proff.
I have a quick question; can i use the Rodecaster for livestreaming on Facebooklive using my cellphone. I have a Note 10. TY in advance. GBY
Hey there! As far as I know, there isn't an "official" way to connect the Rodecaster to a phone. What MIGHT be possible, is to use some kind of microphone adapter for you phone, and connect the Rodecaster's headphone output into it (essentially making your phone think the Rodecaster is a microphone and then use it as an audio source). But I'm not very familiar with Android, so I don't know how possible this would be.
@@tombuck Got it. Thank you. Makes sense.
Which MacBook are you using with the Rodecaster? Kind of wondering what would be the minimum laptop specs I would need to strictly create and edit TH-cam videos and run live-streams
I’m currently using the 16” MacBook Pro, but I had a 2013 MacBook when I got the Rodecaster, and it handed it just fine.
Tom, Where you been all my life... lol
I just stumbled to your videos and I would have to say, your vids and your knowledge is very well respected! I've been wanting to start a podcast, and I too have the Roadcaster Pro. I hope I can bug you for some impute as for cameras and such and the do's and don't of this whole thing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Tony
Hey Tony! Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to “bug” any time 👍
I’ve been binging your vids. Love em. I’m getting this but I have the Rode NTG4 + im wondering should I get a diff mic 🙆🏾♀️ I’m doing livestreams on fb but it seems like it’s sounds way better with a podcast type mic. Advice ?
Oooh, an official binge! I’m honored! The NTG4 is a super great mic, I think you’ll get good results just by using a wind screen or deadcat with it. You can always upgrade later if it’s not the sound you want, it I think it’ll work pretty well.
The Enthusiasm Project thanks for responding!! I like the podcast sound but I don’t want my mic in frame lol
Another question. What switcher are you using with your multi-cam video show?
At work I use the Blackmagic TV Studio HD (there’s a 4K version too). It’s pretty great.
We are hosting a live stream through OBS using Rodecaster Pro Audio setup. We create OBS NINJA as a browser source for a guest interview. If we select in properties control audio via OBS, the guest can hear the hosts but the hosts can't hear the guest. and if we deselect the reverse occurs. Is there another audio source we require when using Rodecaster Pro. Thanks
I haven't used Ninja myself, but I'm guessing that there's something happening with the audio in/out from a browser source. I wish I had a clearer answer for you, but there must be a setting somewhere that can take care of the issue.
wait, does it just mix everything down to stereo in obs or does it have true multi-track?
The recordings are true multitrack, but I'm not 100% sure if you cna do "live" multitrack.
So tempted to get this. Question though - if I'm on a video call doing a live podcast with friends (who aren't in the same room as me), and have someone call in via my phone (bluetoothed to the Rodecaster Pro), will my cohosts on the video call be able to hear the caller on the phone?
Yes, the phone should be a part of the mix in the same way as any of the other mics.
@@tombuck That's awesome. Just wanted to make sure the cohosts could hear the caller, and, that the caller could hear the cohosts. Which channel would the cohosts come through? The one with the USB icon at the top? Thanks for the help on this!
This is sick m@n !!!!! love it ^^
I've connected my Rodecaster to my laptop and plugged my headphones into the laptop for voice monitoring. However, I'm experiencing an odd issue where my voice sounds distorted, with noticeable drag and delay. Could you suggest any solutions to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!
Hey looking for help just purchased a ride podcaster pro. Looking to have a video podcast but want to have video the person I am calling. When I normally do it I call the light Skype and record the call via Ecamm live . Is there anyway I can record all the audio into the ride podcaster as well as the comp
I’m sure there’s a way, but I’m not sure how. I haven’t had much luck with video guests for podcasts and streams myself.
Tom what’s the latest version on your rodecaster ? You say you have the pause / record function?
Thanks for your great vids
Hey Samuel! I installed 1.2.0 last weekend, which adds rec/pause, multitrack to SD card, and changes the interface a bit. It’s been working great so far.
The Enthusiasm Project ok great, thanks I’ll update mine .
Google Voice info was AWESOME. I just set up a Google Voice Account. Thank you.
Glad it helped! 👍
Can I use the rodecaster pro for a confcall/live podcast where all the speakers are online and all connected through software? And if yes what is the best software compatible with the rodecaster?
You can definitely do that, I 've used it on hundreds of Zoom calls and classes. Once it's connected to your computer, it's basically just a USB interface, so you can run the audio from any application through it. 👍
Hello. Will OBS use or work with the built webcam on your laptop ? I’m using an HP
Yes!
While using Obs studio, Rodecaster Pro 2 gives sound from the chat channel. I cannot hear sound from the main channel. Do you mind?
How do the preamps compare to MixPre3 and Zoom F4, F6, F8? Which is cleaner?
I’m so sorry, but I honestly have absolutely no idea 😬
I just got a Rodecaster Pro. I'm trying to use the PC as both a interview source and also to send the audio out for livestreaming. However, Streamlabs OBS seems to not like the Multitrack device input. It shows a mono channel and the VU doesn't move. However, the Stereo Out (that contains the mix-minus) does seem to work. Obviously that would be a problem for the way I want to use it. I'm not sure if I should contact RODE regarding the driver or Streamlabs because their software isn't cooperating with the driver (most other applications are working so far I'm finding).
It's probably an OBS issue, but I'm sure there's a solution. You mentioned mix minus- have you turned on USB mix minus in the menu? I don't have an exact answer, but I'm confident that there's a fix.
@@tombuck Yeah mix minus is on and that works fine on it's associated output device to the computer, but it's the Multitrack mode audio device that SLOBS appears to dislike. It all works in other applications it seems. What I'm doing is using the computer for both the call source with the regular Stereo output and mix minus enabled set in the communication app input device like their tutorial says and the Multitrack output as the audio source in SLOBS. SLOBS appears to not like the Multitrack mode device that has the 14 outputs and is supposed to carry the master out on ch1 & 2.
Do you know if you can also use the rodecaster in multitrack mode and add the mic and computer audio as separate sources in OBS?
I don’t think so, from my experience OBS just sees the Rodecaster as one input source.
@@tombuck thanks
Great video. What camera do you use for OBS? We use Elgato Camlink for PC but it does not work on Mac.
I use the Camlink with my Mac and no problems (along with the EOS R), that’s actually what I was going to recommend. For me, it’s always been plug and play. 🤷🏻♂️
That's great news! I haven't tried the Camlink on the Mac... we were actually having trouble with the Elgato HD60S.
I have one of those at work, and it’s also worked fine with OBS on an iMac. That’s actually why I like elgato gear- it’s all been plug and play for me so far.
Not sure why it’s giving you grief. 😕
Hi!!thank you very much for this amazing video. I purchased the rodecaster I connected with my MacBook and I selected as source to obs. My mic works great but when i play sound effects or music it lays with interruptions and up and downs to the volume. Do you think that its is a broken device or its a setting I am missing? thank you very much
That sounds like there much be a setting doing something weird. It could have to do with your audio input in OBS clipping or having a filter/noise gate turned on.
@@tombuck Yes!!!!! thank you so much!!! I had put it just to try a noise suppression filter in OBS and I erased it and now working like a charm!! You are amazing!! thank you so much!!! I had the same problem with zoom and I turned the original sound on and I got rid of some filters and worked there too!! Thank you again!! Keed doing amazing helpful videos!!
and one last question!!!when you use the zoom or you connect a mobile line where do you hear the other talking from zoom or mobile. You select the rodecaster as a speaker from mac and you hear through the rodecaster headphones? In this case, there was a terrible echo in my headset and in the teleconference also! thanx!!
HELP PLEASE.
So I got a rodecaster and I connected it per USB with my PC and selected Rodecaster pro stereo for both input and output but I can hear myself 24/7 and in OBS my input (mic also gives sound and works as output) this device completely confuses me.
Hmm, I’m not totally understanding- but you might want to play with the computer’s output settings?
I just noticed how all of your posters are The Aquabats and that is insane. Must subscribe and support the legion of righteous comrades.
Yes! Thank you fellow cadet!
Can someone please tell me what kind of audio output you are getting directly from the 1/4 left / right jack to an external speaker? I am getting very low audio output from mine into the speakers I have. Do I have to have powered output monitors to get higher audio output? Thanks!
I don’t have official measurements, but the direct output from mine is pretty strong. There are built in amps, so in theory you shouldn’t have to add anything. Maybe it’s a compatibility issue with your speakers?
@@tombuck Thanks! I had to use a small audio mixer to bring up the sound. Hmmm. Otherwise it's ok.
Well, glad you found a way to make it work! There are so many variables it’s always hard to tell what’s causing which issue.
Can you do a video about how you set up Ecamm Live and then use Rodecaster Pro?
It’s a pretty simple process- once the RCP is connected it shows up as a source in Ecamm. The. I usually add a 5 frame audio delay to keep things in sync. 👍
Re-consuming everything! 😂 thanks buddy
Thanks for the video. Do you set your Rodecaster to stereo or multichannel in OBS? I am trying to live stream with an additional channel to Zencaster and one to my phone to play Spotify.
When streaming I usually use Stereo, but you could use multitrack with no issues too.
@@tombuck ok, thanks. Last week I was using Zencastr and OBS with the Rodecaster and one setting muted my guest. Not sure which it was but when I switched we could hear him again.
@@tombuck I am wondering if multitrack is safer?
Great video Tom. If you are doing a livestream using OBS or Wirecast, is it possible to monitor and set levels for a Skype video guest? I'm interested in adding some outboard gear for live video, but have heard this device may not be the right fit.
In theory, you SHOULD be able to add a Skype source via Bluetooth to TRSS cable, either of which will have it’s own volume slider on the Rodecaster. OBS will just see the unit as one audio source, so any mixing will need to be done before the output. I hope that’s along the lines of what you needed?
@@tombuck Thank you, great channel, such a great style to your vids.
Thanks so much!
